Chapter 973: The Cannon Fodder Wife Seized by the Tyrant (3)
He could even see his long, split tongue!
What's going on?
He turned and looked at himself.
Only then did he realize that he had turned into a pitch-black snake?
Suddenly, his eyes went dark and he fainted again.
Before falling into darkness.
He prayed, "This must all be a dream! Everything will be fine once you wake up!"
Unfortunately, when I woke up again.
He found that he was still in the form of a snake.
Snakes are the animals he hates the most.
He never thought that he would become this!
No, he has to find someone to change himself back to normal!
He wandered in the grass for a long time before he found the way out of the imperial garden and swam slowly towards the palace where the banquet was held.
But, when he arrives.
The palace banquet had ended long ago, and the entire hall was empty.
"Look, why is there a black snake there?"
"Oh no! How did a snake get into the palace? Your Majesty hates snakes the most! Get rid of it quickly!"
The guard's voice came to my ears.
Hearing the sound, the tyrant quickly turned around and fled towards the imperial garden.
He remembered.
He once issued an order that no snakes should be seen in the palace!
Otherwise, all the guards in the palace will die!
Now, has he tied himself up in knots?
He desperately headed towards the Imperial Garden, diving into the tangled grass along the way.
As the guards' footsteps approached, he held his breath in fear.
Afraid they would discover themselves.
Fortunately, it was dark at night and he was wearing black, so he was not easily noticed.
Just as the palace guards were searching the imperial garden for the tyrant who had transformed into a black snake.
Su Li has already returned to Yu's home with Yu's mother.
While in the carriage, she had already learned some things from the system.
It turned out that the original body's attendance at the palace banquet was specially arranged by Concubine Hui.
Including drinking the wine that made the original body hot and having the eunuch lead the tyrant to find her, all were arranged by her.
And it turns out that this Imperial Concubine Hui and her original fiancé Zhao Runwen were childhood sweethearts!
She felt that she was fighting with other concubines in the harem, so why should she, Yu Ranqiu, marry the man she loved!
That's why she wanted the tyrant to fall in love with her original self so that she wouldn't be able to marry Zhao Runzhi.
The moment I stepped into the Yu family.
Yu's mother finally relaxed.
She sent away the maid who had been following her and her daughter, and then asked in a low voice, "Qiu'er, you left the palace banquet. Did you come into contact with His Majesty?"
Su Li chuckled, "Yes! We get along very well and have become siblings!"
"Silly daughter! You are confused! He is a tyrant! He kills people without blinking an eye! How could you provoke him?" Yu's mother said nervously.
"Mom, it's okay! Don't worry!" Su Li laughed.
But she wouldn't explain.
Was she going to tell the other party that the tyrant who had named her a princess was no longer a real tyrant?
So the real tyrant has been turned into a snake by her?
"Really?" Yu's mother asked again cautiously.
"Of course it's okay! Don't worry! Otherwise he wouldn't have made me a princess!" Su Li comforted.
at this time.
When leaving the palace, Yu's father, who was stopped by Prime Minister Zhao, also walked in quickly.
"Qiu'er, come to the study with your father!" Father Yu said softly.
Su Li guessed something, nodded, and went to the study with him.
After entering the study, Father Yu sighed, "I don't know whether the incident at today's palace banquet is a blessing or a curse."
"If it's a blessing, it won't be a disaster. If it's a disaster, it can't be avoided!" Su Li responded casually.
"Well, that's true! But now it seems that everything is fine, that's enough!" Father Yu sighed again.
He looked at Su Li, who looked relaxed, and said, "Just now, your uncle Zhao stopped me and talked about your marriage with Runwen."
Seeing that Su Li didn't say anything, he continued, "He said that now that you are a princess, his son can be a consort to the emperor! But, he doesn't want his son to be unable to enter the court for his entire life, so..."
"So what?" Su Li raised his eyebrows.
"So, he asked you to go to the palace and tell His Majesty that you will marry into the Prime Minister's mansion one day and become the Prime Minister's daughter-in-law! There will be no such thing as a consort! In this way, his Runwen can pass the imperial examination and enter the court!"
Su Li curled the corner of his mouth slightly and snorted coldly.
This Zhao Runwen, isn't he still thinking that she can marry into his Prime Minister's Mansion?
It’s really a beautiful thought!
"Anything else?" Su Li asked again.
"Also, Imperial Concubine Hui and the Zhao family are old friends! Now you have offended His Majesty because of you! They want you to ask His Majesty for mercy and let Imperial Concubine Hui go!"
Father Yu sighed and whispered, "Dad is just informing you about this matter! Now that you are Princess Changle, personally appointed by His Majesty, Dad thinks you should make the decision on these matters yourself!"
Su Li sneered, "What if I don't want to?"
"What they mean is that if you don't want to, then he, the Prime Minister's Mansion, is not worthy of you! So they want to cancel this marriage!"
Father Yu said helplessly, "You also know that if they cancel the marriage, you will have a hard time finding your home in Kyoto!"
If the man broke off the engagement, even if she was a princess, she would still be criticized by others.
It is because of this that the Zhao family wants to control himself and his daughter.
"Then just withdraw! But there's no rush, let's wait two days!" Su Li said with a smile.
Father Yu was slightly surprised.
My daughter seems a little different after returning from the palace.
What on earth happened to her?
"Qiu'er, did you say anything to His Majesty at the palace banquet?" Father Yu asked cautiously.
Su Li repeated to him what she had said to Yu's mother.
Regardless of whether he believed it or not, she said goodbye and returned to her own courtyard.
noon the next day.
Zhao Runwen came to Yu's house with a visiting card, saying that he wanted to meet Su Li.
After Su Li finished lunch, she sat in the pavilion in the garden waiting for him to come.
"Yu Ranqiu! Don't you know what my father and your father talked about last night? Why didn't you go to the palace this morning?" Zhao Runwen hurried over and said to her.
Su Li leisurely held a cup of tea, took a sip and said, "Why should I go to the palace?"
"Didn't your father tell you last night?"
Zhao Runwen looked anxious, "Then let me tell you again! Even if you are crowned a princess, you will be the concubine of my Zhao family when you marry into my family! I am not your consort!"
"Also! Concubine Hui and my family are old friends. She was punished by His Majesty because of you. You should go to the palace immediately and ask His Majesty to exempt her from punishment! Also, it would be best if His Majesty revokes your title of princess! Otherwise, I, Zhao Runwen, don't want to cling to you!"
Su Li looked at him with a sneer, "Enter the palace? Okay, then you can come with me!"
